“I’ve known where I wanted to get married since I was little,” the bride-to-be told People on Thursday. “I’ve talked about it on the show. Even in other seasons, I wanted to get married at the Kentucky Castle, so I don’t think that’s a surprise. I have a date set and all that stuff, but I think I’m going to focus on the engagement party first.”

The Kentucky native added that Taylor, 38, “likes to have his opinion,” too.

“I’ll ask him for stuff and he’ll give his opinion,” said Cartwright, 29. “He has good ideas too so I think it’ll be more fun to do it together. But I have the say, actually.”

Taylor popped the question to Cartwright at Neptune’s Net in Malibu with the “Vanderpump Rules” cameras rolling. The proposal will be featured on the Bravo series next season.

“We just have been so happy. I can’t even be upset with him. I can’t stop smiling,” Cartwright said of her future husband.

Taylor and Cartwright hit a roadblock in their relationship last year, after he admitted cheating on her. Now set to wed, Cartwright is still in the process of deciding her bridal party, which “might” include Taylor’s former fling Kristen Doute.

“No one knows who’s a bridesmaid yet. And I don’t want to say because my list is so long,” she said. “I have so many really close friends, from home in Kentucky and here in LA, so making my bridesmaid choices down to like eight [people] is going to be really hard for me because my list is at like 15 right now. So, that’s going to be the hardest thing.”
